SC to hear Jana Nayagan producers on Jan. 15

A Division Bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Justice Dipankar Datta, will on January 15 hear an appeal filed by the production house of Vijay-starrer Jana Nayagan against an order of stay passed by a Division Bench of the Madras High Court over the certification of the film.

The Bench, also comprising Justice Augustine George Masih, would hear KVN Productions’ challenge against the decision of a two-judge Bench of the High Court to stay a single judge’s order to issue U/A 16+ certificate to the film, hours after it was passed.

The production house has arraigned the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and its Regional Officer as respondents in the case before the Supreme Court.
